Other Business Resources:

Hadley's business courses, modules and resources are part of the Forsythe Center for Employment and Entrepreneurship, which provides individuals who are blind or visually impaired with the knowledge and networking opportunities for career advancement and to launch and grow their own businesses. The initiative was developed to address the 70 to 80 percent un- and underemployment rate among people who are blind or visually impaired.

Family members who expect to be involved in a family-owned business venture are also eligible for enrollment in select business courses and modules through our Family Education Program. All modules and courses are also open to students in Hadley's High School Program.
